Most residential burglaries are crimes of opportunity. Criminals look for easy targets where the risk of detection is low.

The more you do to keep your home from looking like an easy mark, the greater your chances of avoiding a break-in.

City of Dallas Implements Twice-Weekly Watering Schedule

The City of Dallas has implemented mandatory watering restrictions.

Irrigation of landscaped areas with hose-end sprinklers or automatic irrigation sys­tems is limited to no more than twice per week according to the MANDATORY schedule. No watering is allowed on Mondays, Tuesdays or Fridays and watering is prohibited between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the allowed watering days. Drip irrigation, soaker hoses and hand-watering are permitted on any day.

Please note the schedule below for allowed watering days based upon the last digit of your street address.

The first violation of the restrictions will result in a warning; subsequent violations could mean fines of $250 to $2,000.

Healthy Eating Alternatives for Busy People

A new business offering unique, healthy eating alternatives for busy professionals and time-starved people, The Food-O-Speir Personal Chef Service is now available in Kessler Plaza.

“The Food-O-Speir Personal Chef Service will come to your home and prepare healthy, delicious, and preservative-free dinners, with a focus on local and organic foods” said Chef Stephanie Speir. The service includes personalized menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking, labeling and storing, and cleaning up.

Luxury or necessity? If your first thought is that this service would be an unaffordable service only for the elite, think again. Consider what your time is worth. Wouldn't extra time for family or personal activities be fantastic? And, do you really want to have the “What’s for dinner” dilemma every day? Many will find that once the true cost—including health costs—is calculated, a Personal Chef Service is quite affordable.

Chef Stephanie offers a free consultation and food-preference interview to help you decide if a Personal Chef Service meets your needs. The cost of service varies, depending on the type of service selected and the number of meals, and will be determined at the interview. The Food-O-Speir also offers catering for small events, and private or small group cooking lessons.

Speir has previously worked in fine dining and catering kitchens, as well as a boutique winery, and is an Oak Cliff resident. She is a member of the United States Personal Chef Association (USPCA), a 2005 graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, and is dedicated to excellence in the industry.
